Today, I am watching my new home be filled with smoke from afar. The Colorado Springs area is being filled with smoke from a nearby fire that is burning over 5 square miles and over 3,000 acres. Even though I don't officially lived there yet, and have only ever been in the area for about 5 days, my heart goes out to the city and the victims of the fire.
I, and many others, are praying for the 600 firefighters and 70 pilots who are fighting fires across the state of Colorado. I don't want my new state to burn!
Dear Father,
As the weather gets hotter today and the winds continue, please bring your hand down upon Colorado. Help the firefighters to keep up their endurance and strength as they fight to contain these fires. Blow the smoke out of the valley so people can breathe. Save the many homes that may be consumed by the fire. Lord, please bring your powerful and mighty hand down to stop these fires from burning anymore ground. Please bring rain that can help stop the fires from continuing in their destructive path. Keep all the people affected safe from harm. God, we trust in you and give you all of the glory. Thank you Father. Amen.
Please keep praying about these fires. Josh can see the smoke billowing behind the hills as he goes to work. He also went to a church this past Sunday that was taking in evacuees. He said he's doing his best to keep the smoke smell out of our apartment. The whole state of Colorado is in a red flag warning, and we need to pray for God's wisdom and strength. To God be all the glory forever.
